    inserting ink into skin to create permanent designs

    Tattooing is the process of inserting ink, dyes, or pigments into the dermis layer of the skin to create a design, pattern, or image. This is typically done using a needle or a tattoo machine, and the resulting artwork is permanent. Tattooing can serve various purposes, including artistic expression, cultural significance, or cosmetic enhancement, such as covering scars or creating the appearance of hair in cases of alopecia.
